As apposed to the headlines now? It would have been a small snippet now it's a headline.

I can't see the difference. It's still a story, but it keeps on being a story until everyone figures out who was involved. And then it's the same story we've got now. All it would achieve is dragging it out longer.

But leaving speculation to run riot only fans the flames of the story, doesn't it? Just my view.

Yep. If it's a nothing incident say so, or if it's a fight say so. But allowing every person, and every idiot to use their imagination is worse. But the good news is already Malcolm Turnbull & Bill Shorten have each stated only they can be trusted to stop 'Bordy' (Boyd/Cordy = Bordy) incidents in the future they're elected.

Then Zaine's a moron. Boyd has a huge height, weight and reach advantage.

And as if on cue ...

I hope Danny McGinlay's "hellbent" on a Barrett-themed banner when the time is right.

LOL Predictable response.

Given that just yesterday Bevo was talking about a possible T Boyd call up for the Sydney game I'd suggest that we had dealt with it internally and only now our hand has been forced into going public.

The statement unfortunately leaves enough unsaid for everyone to begin filling in the gaps as creatively as possible. I think the club are being excessively optimistic if they think that their "no further comment" line will hold.

Just deny deny deny. Can't see any benefit giving this wings by publicly commenting, especially in the vague manner we've gone about it.

One has to assume it was going to be published. Looks like the Herald Sun were going with it so we got a statement out. Agree there is no chance the 'No Comment' will hold. Wonder if we will push the 'Skylarking' accident line and then in turn whether that really was the case or it was an actually bust up.

If it was a "wrestle" then I want to see the finisher Tom put on Zaine. Maybe a Kevin Nash like Jack knife power bomb.

Re: Incident involving Tom Boyd and Zaine Cordy - Statement

Unfortunately I'm sure it's gone past the stages where we could ignore it and this is an attempt to put our own version out there and appear strong by dealing with it. A standard PR 'crisis manual' response. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Equally unfortunately too many questions remain and by indicating Toms role was more significant and deserving of greater censure, the idea that one of two rather large boof-heads accidentally fell over/tripped over each other on the way to another beer/were embracing each other in brotherly solidarity/insert your own 'innocent' explanation - is going to seem, um, implausible.

True. But when one of the young guys is getting paid 1.5mill and is yet to prove his worth (for the record I think he will) then its a big story. If it had been Zaine and Joel Hamling it wouldn't have gone very far.
